A delicious everyday white wine from veteran California vintner Bruce Neyers, the fresh and juicy 92 pt. 2022 Neyers 304 Chardonnay offers crisp, aromatic stone fruit and citrus with bright acidity on a mouthwatering mineral finish, making it an outstanding value for fans of unoaked California Chardonnay and anyone seeking an easy drinking, food-friendly white to stock the cooler at a bargain price.
Bruce was inspired by his experience with Chablis producers to create the Neyers 304 Chardonnay, the name “304” an insider reference to the grade of stainless steel used in the winery’s aging tanks. Fruit is sourced from the family-owned Paul Larson Vineyard in Carneros, planted in a rocky outcropping that yields smaller, more concentrated clusters and enhances minerality, while the cooling maritime influence of San Pablo Bay preserves the grapes’ freshness and acidity.
Among the best values in unoaked California Chardonnay, this impressive, WS92 offering remains lesser known among the region’s high-profile producers while overdelivering value as a top-scoring, ready to enjoy Chardonnay affordably priced for stocking up by the case. |
